Yield issues is my guess.Originally Posted by rintamarotta
Im disapointed, no 150W TDP 12 core 3.1Ghz Xeon E5-2699W v2, now i need only be satisfied of 130W TDP 2.7Ghz Xeon E5-2697 v2
Why Intel, Why!
The 12 cores are in VERY tight supply.
All I was able to get was a pair of the E5-2670 V2 10 cores.. So far anyway!

Yeah, i think also yield issues and that there is not that many rackmount servers that need such high TDP processors.Yield issues is my guess.

I think ill buy two Xeon E5-2690 v2 or E5-2697 v2, multi-threaded performance will skyrocket and single threaded will remain pretty much same compared to E5-2687W's and maybe even better with E5-2690 v2.
My productivity will increase alot, less time encoding, more time cutting.
I can take bit extra performance from these cpu's with 1-2Mhz bclock overclock, i really wish they at least would enable strap overclocking, running these Xeons with 1.25 strap would be nice.
I really need replace EVGA SR-X with Asus LGA2011 Dual Socket Workstation board, so much quicker.

No, what you really need to do is to get the SM X9DAX-iF board like I have and then get your 2697 V2's and sit back and watch the sucker amaze you..
I have the 2670 V2's up and running at 3047MHz and performance is slightly better than the E5-2687W SB 8 cores at 3612MHz..
And 10C cooler and drawing less elec and oooh, just plain NICE!
